META AM V4 RACE 650B BRUSHED EDITION

"Race"! Everything about this META AM RACE BRUSHED Edition has been designed around performance, including the graphics! The mix of a brushed and matte black finish, means the bike not only looks beautiful but it’s also lighter and more resistant.

However, we cannot focus just on the design and look of this limited edition, as it has too many other good bits! The choice of parts includes the full ROCKSHOX package for suspension, with the new LYRIK RCT3 with 170mm of travel and a MONARCH Plus Debonair.

We have also adapted some components depending on the size of the bike and so the ROCKSHOX Reverb is delivered with 125mm travel for Small and Medium frames, whilst the L and XL are equipped with a 150mm travel post... Tall riders tend to have longer legs!

Another guarantee of excellence is cranks and wheels from E13; classy, understated and efficient.

You may have already noticed that we are particularly proud of this META. It’s this bike we all love for its beauty, efficiency and consistency.

"Add a slack 66 degree head angle and even when we really overstepped the limit, the META never gave up gripping and saving us from our own stupidity."
"In short, everything you need to max out the potential of this superb great-value bike every time you’re lucky enough to launch it down the trails."

– "What Mountain Bike"

"An enduro race-ready winner on downhill and fast sections which also surprised everyone when the slope was reversed …"

– "Vélo Vert"

"The COMMENCAL holds its trajectory perfectly, precisely, but without being too stiff."
"Behind its rowdy exterior, the COMMENCAL is easy to handle."

– "Vélo Vert"

"Everything is comfortable between your hands. You feel immediately at ease with such a cockpit."

– "Vélo Vert"

"In red, purple, black or yellow the META V4 will find a way to your heart through many component packages and will leave a space in your wallet from prices that are every bit as good to be true."
"Its well guarded under top-tube mounted shock keeps mud at bay and the source of such a strong and lively ride characteristic which uses every single millimetre of what it has available."

"The back of the bike is just asking to be propelled with big pedal stokes."
"Tailor-made for enduro, the COMMENCAL has a long top tube, which meets current standards, coupled with a mini-stem and wide handlebars, which gives super precision during the slightest turn."

– "Bike Magazine"

"This bike also excels on steep and tight switchbacks, without fault."
"It's as if the ground has been cleared, the bike demands very little from the rider, technically and physically. It is super nice, easy and forgiving."

– "Big Bike"

"Get ready to collect the KOMs on the descents, as the META AM V4’s line precision is unrivalled. No matter how rough the trail gets, the bike stays on track and keeps confidence high with its high stack and long frame."

– "Enduro MTB"

"The riding position is so good, you remain in control of the bike at all times."
"There are no external cables, which gives the bike a very neat and clean look."

"The COMMENCAL META AM V4 is a bike which you can ride straight ‘out-of-the-box’. The configuration makes perfect sense and the chosen components integrate graciously into the overall appearance of the bike.”

"The META has an unerring ability to put the front wheel exactly where you want it, however rough the trail or tight the turn.”

"This creates a greed for speed that whoever is riding it just couldn't refuse, and all our testers praised its outstanding blend of playfulness and poise.”

– "What Mountainbike”

"Drops, jumps, scree and steeps, larger and longer than I was comfortable with became smaller, smoother and easier to handle.”

– "Singletracks”

"The cockpit bits from COMMENCAL’s in-house brand was the biggest surprise of the component check. The 50mm stem and 780mm bar pairing hit a sweet spot for me and I see no reason to replace them.”

– "Singletracks”

"The COMMENCAL can be cornered with a heavy hand like a super slack enduro racer, set up to dig in, spray rocks and hold a line regardless of what may be in its way. Or, it can skate around turns, weaving around the ugly bits and drifting in short, controlled spurts.”

"The rear end was forgiving enough in the early stages of the travel that it tracks well, yet firm in the mid-stroke so it could still be playful.”

"Lengthy road climbs are tolerable and technical climbs are aided by the active suspension. When sprinting, the bike was supportive enough that it didn’t sap energy, yet forgiving enough to allow us to charge through rough sections.”
